KAMPALA: The Ugandan shilling weakened on Friday, as global fears over the economic ramifications of Britain's vote to leave the European Union triggered a scramble among commercial banks to beef up their dollar positions.

At 0851 GMT, commercial banks quoted the shilling at 3,380/3,390, weaker than Friday's close of 3,365/3,375.
